The structure of the dystrophin glycoprotein complex
The structure of dystrophin-associated proteins has been explained by non-uniform refinement (NLR) of the crystal structure of dystrophin and utrophin spectrin repeats. Researchers found that the NLR was effective in improving single-particle cryo- reconstruction. This is the first time NLR is being used to explain dystrophin-associated proteins. dystrophin, utrophin, and Utrophin have all been linked…
